Does this appear if you try from the menu entry or does it run correctly?

No it did not run from the menu and yes the warning banner came up when using the menu. That was why I tried running from terminal. No error message in terminal other than the banner though.

Also. No need to waste time with me tazmod. I went and tried installing avast rpm instead. This all started when I ran Kazehakase browser and got a can't connect to paypal popup when I was not even trying to connect to paypal. So in a late night fit of paranoia I started on this trek.

Long story short. I broke my Puppy 4.31 full install when Avast froze up halfway through scan. Lost X. Tried using my saved sfs files in etc/X11/xorg.conf and that startup file in /root/home (Can't remember the exact name but it was like .inixtrc ) and still wouldn't give me a desktop and xorgwizard would just go in circles as far as if you didn't get X run Xorgwizard. I finally gave up. So 4.31 is gone. I use my other partition with MacPup Foxy 3 which has xfprot working just fine. Used the same steps to install in Macpup as I did in 4.31. So it is a wonderment. But since Puppy 4.31 is gone. The point is moot.

/usr/local/xfprot/xfprot-gtk ---the gtk gui script.

I investigated and all files were present. That was why I head scratched, then tried avira, which was just adding fuel to the fire to burn down Puppy.

I use full installs almost exclusively. When I "break" one, I load the
live cd and run full install again. This time just use "upgrade", skip
the grub install, and in most cases it fixes original install._________________

I still can't get this to work. I still get the cannot detct f-prot version error message.

I tried re-installing 4.3.0, running it from the menu, so the updates are downloaded, then installing the pet to fix it. No joy.

I downloaded f-prot and installed it from the website. I re-compiled xfprot from source and installed it. No joy.

I'm going to verify that f-prot will work from the command line. I'm going to check for the missing directories you mention. Also f-prot has i686 in it's tar.gz filename. I've got a pentium-mmx, so I'm wondering if that might be a factor, and/or if I should upgrade my puppy to 4.3.1
